Moot Thoughts & Musings

I'm really a fiend for Christmas music. My friend Bryonie is, too, but half-way through college we made a pact that we wouldn't start listening to Cmas music until after Thanksgiving, because we were both getting a little burnt out with Madrigals and Christmas, etc. So now it's after Thanksgiving, and I'm pulling it all out, except that I can't find all my CD's. I'm missing my Charlie Brown Christmas and a pirated melange, most of which is compiled from various Chanticleer Christmas CD's. My brother also stole my jazz Christmas CD several years ago. (No, Nick, I have not forgotten. The case remains on my shelf patiently waiting for the day you return it.) So if you or anyone you know has any of these CDs I would really like them back. I have actually resorted to Messiah and $4 Walmart CDs I'm so desperate. (actually the Walmart one isn't so bad..Bing, Louis, Ella, etc)

After reviewing our finances one more time, we just seriously cannot make the trip up North, so probably should just treat this as a decision. We are staying home. I come to decisions gradually. Chris just makes them. He has probably made the decision in his mind already, but it's not so easy for me. I was feeling especially sad about it yesterday. I actually almost started crying in my professor's office when I said we were staying home for Christmas (but I think that emotional wave was largely hormonally related). Don't get me wrong, I think we'll have a grand time at home. First of all, we'll be home, and not hauling suitcases all around Pennsylvania. We'll get to watch our movies and read our books and buy a real Christmas tree and be with our church. There is a lot I'm looking forward to.

The other big thing is that we really need jobs for the holidays. As soon as I finish my cappucino, I'm going to take my hopelessly academic resume to the mall and to Border's to apply. Please pray that we can get jobs.
